Ford F-250 - The Real Fix

4 years of college, graduating as a master ASE cert mechanic. The Instructors regularly play your videos in their presentations for all the students. I, now happily have my own mobile auto repair business, and continue to watch all of your videos in my free time. My favorites are the electrical diagnostics. Amazing how much you know, how well you explain, and how great your videos are. Your nickname at my college is “South Main Wizard”. LOL. Anyway, everyone loves what you do, keep it up! We appreciate it.

26 yrs as a HVAC mechanic, you couldn't have said it better about the real mechanics seem to get squat compared to hack parts changers. It's great to see there are still true mechanics who actually care about doing the right thing and are proud

Another 37 minutes of me not watching depressing, anger filled YouTube content.(Politics and world news). Soldering while on your back is not a job I like doing. Thanks for your meticulous diagnosis and professional repairs. Carry on Carrying on, Mr. O

I’m a professional cotter key bender and I think you did a great job. Next time we have a cotter key bender convention, we would like to have you as a guest speaker

Some people see my South Main Auto t-shirt here in Kentucky and ask why I'm wearing that NY stuff. I tell them, unless you watch this guy, you'll never understand. Thanks, Eric!!❤❤❤

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the TAPE skills of this guy! Cutting, not stretching to break, not using teeth, taping ends of loom, covering loom, strain points of all the sections of harness, and not wrinkled and kinked or mixed with dirt. Quality AND Appearance are hallmarks of a professional. Good job!

A man who cares about his work. You have the best channel.

Love how he said he won’t show all the repairs (he didn’t) but showed a lot as he talked to the people. I loved that during certain topics he stopped and just laid back and folded his hands while talking. Felt like philosophy time with Eric O. That’s why we watch!

I love how Eric brings up how the internet is full of professionals: ”You’re doing this wrong! I’m a professional solder, welder, concrete person, home builder, cotter pin bender…” 😄

"wire color is right, as long as your wire color is green"😂 gotta love service connectors.

I am not a YouTube content creator. Merely a content consumer. However, in my 51 years of living, working 31 years in an auto production plant (the one that built that truck actually) & serving in two military branches (still serving as an aircraft mechanic), I’ve learned to ignore the morons who surround us all. Those who claim to know the most, usually don’t. Stop feeding the trolls Eric. Another great video by the way!

Eric’s methods are top of the class. I used to train new employees at Boeing in that method on Ch-47s and V22 Osprey’s. We had a position on the line dedicated solely for autocheckout called DITMCO. We would have the newbies hook up every connector on the aircraft to a computer system programmed for each aircraft and run checks on every wire. part one was point-to-point wiring , and part two was for every circuit breaker and all relays to be energized. I even helped to design a program, an active circuit diagram which showed all the systems in animation for troubleshooting, loved it all

Knowing farmers as I do, good ole boy backed over a 4x4 barbed wire fence post that jammed between the frame and spare.

Hi Eric, The Ford heatshrink is actually Raychem ES2000. Mouser and DigiKey both carry it. I'm sure other places have it too. Common sizes are ES-1 to ES-4.

I`m a solder and heat shrink guy, have been for 50 years when I started working on my own junk @16. Nice fix, well done Eric.

After 30 years as a highly trained electrician and automovive repairman I've done every type of splice and the only for sure water and rodent free permanent wire splice is a crimp butt splice or screw butt connector wrapped and sealed with at lease to layers of 3m 88tape and coated with 3m scotchkote leaving a small amount of extra wire to allow for expansion and contraction. Underground , in water, corrosive above ground 3m scotchkote is impenetrable by any type of environment. I think your method is as close to permanent as possible but physical damage can never be predicted because the human factor is always present. Great job!!

"Because who's gonna watch that? And uh, who would wanna watch that?" Eric, have you not met us??? 😂😂

When I worked at an RV dealership, we had a Winnebago that had an electrical short. Troubleshooting the dash, Winnebago had no electrical diagrams of the dashboard wiring and neither did Chevrolet who supplied the chassis for Winnebago to build on. On top of that, when the mechanic pulled the dashboard, all the wires were purple in color! A fun time was held by all!!! 😂😂😂

People would watch you solder every wire just as the watch a guy mow and weed trim a yard for over 30 minutes. It’s all therapeutic. Your videos are great, especially the narrations.

As it happens, I am, in fact, a professional cotter bin bender, and I can assure you I've never yet seen you bend one wrong. Keep up the high-quality cotter bin bending.
